Caavie Cowl
This cowl is part of an ebook collection of 5 cowls where each cowl is being released weekly starting November 27th and ending on December 25th. Purchasing the ebook will mean you pay half for each cowl pattern as opposed to purchasing them individually. You will receive the updates for each pattern as they are released. The collection will include cowl patterns using a range of constructions, textures and yarn weights with at least one colorwork cowl.
Please note that refunds will not be given if you purchase patterns individually and then decide to buy the ebook.
This cowl is worked bottom up in the round and features classic Fair Isle motifs. This cowl was inspired from a jumper my mum designed in the 70s and which is now in the archives at the Shetland Museum. The snowflake-like motif resulted in the name “Caavie” which is a Shetland word for blizzard.
